If she really called, she should have keep on telling that. We don't know how much was cut, but she let's it go too easy for what we saw. If she didn't call because, whatever a hangover, then the best thing is to admit. But to me it looked like either they wanted an excuse to fire her (Diane probably jealous or one of the other women) or her work wasn't good and then waited for a moment like this. But when innocent, it could have been easily proven. Back in the early 2000s, I would get my (cell) phone bill specified with the number and length every single month. One time when I had pre-paid I suddenly had lots of money gone of my credit, called in and they sent me a review the very next day instead of waiting till end month. You could probably find it online with your provider since then when needed proof other than just showing it on your mobile itself where you could show some screenshot being altered. Still, I rather trust her than Duane or Diane. Okay, I had to think back to this show and about how many people were fired. THere is a playlist I clicked on, this was the first
@@72tx340 That's true. I mean I would watch American Chopper with both my dad and brother. Andwe would say Those two can't be at each other's throats like that all the time. So I can see your point. But in interviews they did say that Dwayne was actually an real asshole.
Just from what I saw on the show, Boyd and Duane are THE biggest assholes in THE world. I would've gone days after starting but not before chewing their collective asses.
@@72tx340 That maybe the case, but man, what went on with American hotrod, orange county choppers and so on made many of the people in it looked bad. I don't think they're that dumb enough to just think that it is all a show and that they're different from what they were on tv. Boyd and Paul Sr is genuinely A-holes and there's nothing fake about it.
I was a huge fan of Boyd's designs in the 80's, but I lost some respect for him after the show. Anyway, Chip Foose was his chief designer from 1993 to 1998.
The best addendum to this story is that in 2016 Duane fell out of a moving car drunk off his ass on New Year's Day. Bad things happen to shitty people.
I worked with guy like Duane, always in the office before shift, to download, because he worked afternoon shift. Then when he spoke to you, tried to be your best friend in the world. He travelled 80 miles a day upto that point over 16 years, for work, had 4 children (last one, was a surprise), so l guess he created his own personal hell. So glad to leave that job.....Girlfriend worked a couple of shifts before this Christmas, 10 years later ( we are waiting for COVID restrictions to lift, so we can go back home....And it is instantly much worse there. Only European workers make up the workforce they are trapped, by raising a family. I actually feel for them, because it is your life, slipping away.
The only good thing that came from this show was Dwayne falling out of his car at 25mph whilst he was drunk and smashing his own face in and getting arrested 🤣
Yeah these square head jackasses are pretty cut throat theres no compromise or understanding no warnings just your gone bullshit,they don't care about people's livelihood or well being?fuck sake
@@barrybrown6528 plenty of compromise. All she had to do was prove she contacted a specific person. People are just too damn lazy and just think ill take a day off and toss an excuse. Snowflakes can't handle the rules...go work for McDonald's.
@@showcasecharlie11 I agree. At the end of the day it’s a bu$ine$$. All Trish had to do was make a simple phone call. Despite Boyd being the tyrant he was, He’d be dumb enough to believe whatever excuse she gave for being absent.
The reason that they are always behind on deadlines is because people like Duane are always walking around trying to be "the boss" and not doing anything productive. I was a foreman in a prototype shop, just like this, and when we would even look like we might get behind, I'd be right out there in the shop, up to may ass in the work. The managerial crap can wait, that's not what makes the revenue for the company. That is why my guys loved having me as the supervisor, I remembered what is was like to have a shitty boss.
There are "Bosses" and there are "leaders" I think if this guy Duane spent more time trying to be a leader and less time trying to be Boss, which he's not very good at judging by the amount of people who quit or are fired from this place, things would be much better at this workplace...
I like your point. I do home restoration in Florida and run a small crew. We all work together and everyone has a task. I always ask with a please and say thank you for every single task completed. Nobody ever skips work with us because we rely on each other and have a responsibility to the job. I think their politics of the shop by management takes that all away.
Exactly lead by example if you show willing to join the people on the shop floor when things get tough you get far more respect from the workforce. Don't expect people to do anything you wouldn't do yourself. That way people work better for you it's far more productive than being an ass like that Dwain seemed to be
I was dating a woman who's machine shop did work for coddington who rarely Paid his bills and anyone that worked for eventually was fired and or quit. boyd was a very foul dishonest person.
None of those old hags couldn't stand up for her and just say "She called me, sorry I forgot to pass it on"???? You can tell they had it out for her. She is moderately good looking, and they're old crusty leaches. I'd bet Boyd pressured her to sleep with him.
@@joeyjeremiah159 Well, "good looking" is sort of a relative term in this case. If I was Tom Hanks on the island, and Trish and that office hag washed ashore, it's a no-brainer which one would be sleeping in my hut that night.
"You have to be strict with these people in order to do business" -Boyd. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW NOT TO RUN A BUSINESS. It Reminds me of something Richard Branson once said: Question: As an owner what is more important? You take care of the employees? or you take care of the customers? Answer: Take care of the employees, because if as am owner I take good care of the employees I don't need to worry about the customers. The reason work ain't getting done and morale is bad is because you and your foreman are not taking care of the employees. They seem to have everyone terrified of losing their job or worse so demoralized they no longer care about their job. You talk about kicking ass? Looks like its your ass getting kicked because everyone (especially people with talent) seems to be heading over to the competition.
chief tp There’s a balancing act between being a slave owner mentality and letting your employees walk all over you. Nobody’s put on this planet to make someone else’s dreams come true. Or to feed some monster ego. He pissed off Roy, the guy that chick worked for. If I were the boss, I’d have checked in with Roy to see if he felt she was worth having around. And a one time warning policy on no call/no show is sufficient. It makes little sense to fire everyone who ever gets a hangover.
A no-call, no-show policy should start an escalation process. It should NOT be immediate termination after the first offense. If it's a trend, yes, you get terminated after being warned. If it's a one-time thing, it's NOT a trend. Boyd and Duane deserved each other. Both of them the most supreme of all assholes. If people knew how horribly they treated their employees at the time Boyd was selling his hotrods for 6 figures, I surely hope people would have thought twice about buying them.
@@Chrisrk11 Because there are actual federal employment laws that protect employees. I guarantee you first and foremost there was no employee policy manual as there is required by federal law for all businesses employing taxable incomes. Unless he paid everyone cash under the table, if he was paying everyone with an hourly accounted, payroll with deducted tax for the IRS they’re required by law to have an employee policy handbook or easily accessible policy outline online. If he wasn’t that could have gotten him 20 years for fraud or evasion alone. Second, in the policy manual it would spell out exact attendance requirements and consequences. No business in America has an attendance requirement of being fired if you’re late just once. Not even nursing in hospitals which is far more vital and important everyone show up on their shift schedule on-time. Again, consistently late? Yes, problem. One time? Not fireable.
That's sweatshop bullshit. Most companies have a 3-day "No Show" policy. No one gets canned after just one day of no call/no show. I've never heard of such a thing.
he said 'the only one who'll be hurting from this is roy!' ...err...she's the one who got fired...and, I got the impression that he enjoyed doing It too.
Yea,no doubt. You could see a slight smirk on his face while he was talking to the camera as if he was fighting back a smile. What a prick. I think he'd be worth an assault charge & a lil bail $......
what's the big deal about coddington cars? i don't see anything extra ordinary about them aside from the price. they're boring. overpriced geriatric mobiles.
Coddington could be extremely innovative. Find pictures of CadZZilla, the customized Cadillac owned by the frontman for ZZ Top. It is one of the greatest hot rods ever built. It's also worth over a million dollars - and Boyd Coddington's cut was $900,000. By the time this show came out, Coddington's shop was doing a lot of cookie-cutter cars. Given that, they still generally work as cars. Compare that to OCC's show bikes - beautiful creations that would be hell to ride more than half an hour or so at a time.
Another thing about Coddington cars that many don't seem to know. They had a propensity for showing up in Las Vegas car shows within a year of being built. Did the owner tire of it that fast? Unlikely. Were they junk? Probably not. Or were they in house self promotional builds with a third person fronting so as to get the name and pictures in the various magazines? That would be my bet. In regards to employees and rules, in Coddingtons shop there was really only one rule. That rule was work for a pair of jerks named Boyd and Duane without question and blind unflinching loyalty or get gone. Foose was always considered the arch rival since he left to go on his own. Charlie was a dick because he wanted to try and expand his limitations by joint venturing with Foose. Mike was disloyal because he worked for Foose on his own time. Bluebear was told he could build what he wanted and was considered disposable when he didn't bow down to Boyd's interferring in his project. And the list goes on....... In the end though Coddington did the right thing. He died and made the world a better place.
I remember watching this show. Deadlines got tighter than the one they just finished and people had to work from before sunrise til after sunset and come in on weekends to get these cars finished. After a while people get burned out and stop giving a shit. Seemed like everyone either stopped caring and got fired or said fuck it and quit. Can't blame them one bit.
But he did have amazing talent in the workers he had. He just treated them like disposable shit...#1 rule: dont shit on the people trying to carry you to the top. Roy should have called the shots on this. Not Duane's dumb fucking ass.
He was and he used all his guys just to feed his ego. A good built car is timeless but a lot of his need updating. Especially that ugly yellow and blue roadster. I had Boyd wheels on my car in 95 96 and those wouldn't fly now days.
I need glasses. I read the title as "Trash gets fired." I thought that could only mean that Dwayne had gotten fired. Sadly, I was disappointed. Damn you, eyes, you raised my hopes only to have them cruelly dashed.
Boyd was such an ass, didnt protect or take care of his good help. All these guys are more successful without him. Roy and Mike were the rockstars of the show.
Lame, this shop isn't worth even going in for an interview in my book. Not that she was right for not showing up but apparently they don't take into consideration all the hard work employee's put in for them.
American Hot Rod really could have been something special...... I loved it for the cars, projects, imagination and 95% of the people.... Though that bloody Duane was like a wrecking ball in every episode.... Gezzzz, when I stumble across these memories it still fills me with sadness that he destroyed the hopes and dreams of so many .... Trish, I hope your career was able to prosper in a place where your skills were valued and appreciated.
You have an employer with high turnover. Coddington and Duane are the common denominators. What a ridiculous company policy. So if an employee got in an accident and were in the hospital and didn't call in. They would be fired? At some point you have to trust you employees has a legit reason for missing work and the whole F'n world doesn't revolve around you.
No kidding. As I recall, they were struggling to find someone decent in that part of the shop, and they go and do this so they can keep up their front that they are hard-ass about the no-call-and-you're-fired rule.
if she has been there longer than her probationary period its a wrongful discharge. Verbal warning, Written warning, then termination... Coddington never follows the employment rules. He is a crook.
Is it possible that Jo Coddington talked to Trish when she claimed she called in sick? We already know that Jo was the ONLY person that disliked Liz Miles and had her fired. According to Jo, Liz had a bad attitude, but meanwhile Boyd would get in full blown screaming matches with half of the shop. My theory is that Boyd's talentless gold digger wife was afraid of another woman stepping on her turf and took the call from Trish but didn't tell anyone. 10+ years later Jo is still stuck in her gold-digger ways, still riding Boyd's coat tail while pretending she was the one responsible for his success.
Boyd's pissed.. Nobody had any job security at Boyds.. He was such a suck-worthy human being. In the end his early death was justice. Perfect example of a talented artist thrust into a position of total incompetence as a business manager. In the end he left a legacy of a few nice cars, and dozens of horrible stories about his complete and utter ass-holyness as a human being. That prick he hired as "number one" manager too... He sure showed his colors as a looser in the industry after Boyds death. Oh well, time has passed, the wounds are largely healed, and the heels are still wounded.
Its clear that this guy has the man management skills of a nat ...its strange to note nearly every one has found work with other companies but where is dwane ??
Bullying your employees to get them to perform better and faster is a BIG mistake, that method will only result in losing people to the point of getting a bad business rep.
Happy employees is a happy business. Cut the employees, cut the business. Cut the business, cut yourself. Common fucking knowledge! Word to the wise, Your employees ARE the business...
That was a rough place. I can't blame anyone for quitting. I notice that people didn't want to give two weeks notice when they want to quit. I think from now on I'll start writing down names of people when I talk to them on the phone.
i never really watched this show but i clicked on one of the videos of Boyd firing a guy and then in the suggested videos there was another one, and then another one, and then someone quits and then another one is fired. What the hell kind of operation is this?? LOL its obvious they had MAJOR issues at that place when this was filmed WOW!
A lot of good people got fired. I hired three former employees and they stuck with me during good times and bad. I liked Boyd and knew him for many years before his great claim to fame. His attitude changed over the years and I think he made a lot of serious mistakes, and he knew it.
His atitude after firing her saying the only person suffering will be roy cos hes gota do more..ignoring the empathy that sum1 just lost their job sums up that place i would never buy anything from such a cold heartless place
Go Dwayne Go. When it gets real rough, you will get yours "in the end" :) Kissy kissy and you get to keep your job, well kinda sorta. Someone is keeping book on you guy, so keep an iron in the fire you just may be looking for a job.
Well just goes to show looks can be deceiving - if she didn't call in to let them know what was happening then she deserves what she got!...shame I would have liked to have seen Duane's face when she produced her phone bill!..and I believed her..lol.
I understand that he has schedules he has to meet by a good boss would give you three strikes you don’t call in that’s a verbal warning second time you don’t call and you get written up third time you’re fired.

Someone not calling in and then just lying about it isn't a "mistake". People need to take responsibility for their actions.

Bluebear was told he could build what he wanted and was considered disposable when he didn't bow down to Boyd's interferring in his project. And the list goes on....... In the end though Coddington did the right thing. He died and made the world a better place.
@@leeturbo2008 Enjoy your B.M.W., loser boy.
I remember watching this show. Deadlines got tighter than the one they just finished and people had to work from before sunrise til after sunset and come in on weekends to get these cars finished. After a while people get burned out and stop giving a shit. Seemed like everyone either stopped caring and got fired or said fuck it and quit. Can't blame them one bit.
Boyd Coddington was a hack car builder
But he did have amazing talent in the workers he had. He just treated them like disposable shit...#1 rule: dont shit on the people trying to carry you to the top. Roy should have called the shots on this. Not Duane's dumb fucking ass.
He was and he used all his guys just to feed his ego. A good built car is timeless but a lot of his need updating. Especially that ugly yellow and blue roadster. I had Boyd wheels on my car in 95 96 and those wouldn't fly now days.
No he wasn’t. Bit of a cocky prick. But not a hack.
@Dementia- Joe agree to disagree my man.
The only thing Boyd could build was a large pile of "SHIT"
"We have just 4 'girls' here".. wrong.
Correct- "we have just 4 hags here"
4 HOSEBEASTS
"I'll leave it up to Duane" - Boyd being useless as usual, be a man and make a decision
American Hotrod: How to run a toxic work environment 101
I need glasses. I read the title as "Trash gets fired." I thought that could only mean that Dwayne had gotten fired. Sadly, I was disappointed. Damn you, eyes, you raised my hopes only to have them cruelly dashed.
Boyd was such an ass, didnt protect or take care of his good help. All these guys are more successful without him. Roy and Mike were the rockstars of the show.
Now Boyd is in the ground. "Boyd Rottington"
Deservedly. With his flimsy reputation tarnished.
Boyd's dead......fired for good
That's why all your worker's are going to work for Chip Foose
When I watched that show I thought I never work for Boyd.
Boyd, "I'll have to start being an a-hole.... you always where brudtha.
Lame, this shop isn't worth even going in for an interview in my book. Not that she was right for not showing up but apparently they don't take into consideration all the hard work employee's put in for them.
Duane is one of the biggest problems with the shop. Fire him now.
Boyd had gold in his employees, one ass along with Boyd made that place terrible to work for. This man had Chip Foose as an employee
Looked like a real shitty place to work
That Dwayne would get knocked out if he spoke to people like this , he is a Fud.............
"Hey did you hear Trish got fired?" *awkward pause* Totally fed lines.
The whole show was more about who was getting fired next or quitting.Not surprised it ended
American Hot Rod really could have been something special...... I loved it for the cars, projects, imagination and 95% of the people.... Though that bloody Duane was like a wrecking ball in every episode.... Gezzzz, when I stumble across these memories it still fills me with sadness that he destroyed the hopes and dreams of so many .... Trish, I hope your career was able to prosper in a place where your skills were valued and appreciated.
Duane was Boyd's worst enemy/employee.
Mean and vindictive
A little rat
why didnt they just check the fucking phone records.
There would be no way I could have worked for that guy. Honestly after I didn't think he was all that great of a hotrod designer IMO at least
You have an employer with high turnover. Coddington and Duane are the common denominators. What a ridiculous company
policy. So if an employee got in an accident and were in the hospital and didn't call in. They would be fired?
At some point you have to trust you employees has a legit reason for missing work and the whole F'n world doesn't revolve
around you.
He said, " I gotta go back to being an asshole." He never stopped being an asshole.
I don't think general motors goes threw as many people as coddingtons shop, he must have loved training the competitions new employees
Roy should of had the balls to tell Boyd, “FUCK IT, SHE GOES I GO”!!!!
Anyone who stayed working under those conditions HAS no balls... 😒
over one day? give her a warning. shit
how fucking hard is it to call in??
+jquest43 exactly
No kidding. As I recall, they were struggling to find someone decent in that part of the shop, and they go and do this so they can keep up their front that they are hard-ass about the no-call-and-you're-fired rule.
if she has been there longer than her probationary period its a wrongful discharge. Verbal warning, Written warning, then termination... Coddington never follows the employment rules. He is a crook.
RubentlyGarcialago nmkll
He had to have the highest turnover rate of any hot rod shop
Is it possible that Jo Coddington talked to Trish when she claimed she called in sick? We already know that Jo was the ONLY person that disliked Liz Miles and had her fired. According to Jo, Liz had a bad attitude, but meanwhile Boyd would get in full blown screaming matches with half of the shop.
My theory is that Boyd's talentless gold digger wife was afraid of another woman stepping on her turf and took the call from Trish but didn't tell anyone.
10+ years later Jo is still stuck in her gold-digger ways, still riding Boyd's coat tail while pretending she was the one responsible for his success.
Boyd's pissed.. Nobody had any job security at Boyds.. He was such a suck-worthy human being. In the end his early death was justice. Perfect example of a talented artist thrust into a position of total incompetence as a business manager. In the end he left a legacy of a few nice cars, and dozens of horrible stories about his complete and utter ass-holyness as a human being. That prick he hired as "number one" manager too... He sure showed his colors as a looser in the industry after Boyds death. Oh well, time has passed, the wounds are largely healed, and the heels are still wounded.
sure glad I don't work there.
If a lady forgot and was going to be in trouble for not relaying the message, you'd think she'd fess up, or just let the other person take the fall?
It's really sad that Boyd's employees had to lie to get a day off
Duane was such a brown Moser if Boyd stopped suddenly Duane would go straight up his butt. Everyone that quit or got fired went on to better things.
Boyd hasn't called in Was he fired too?
Duane, Boyd's little lap dog was the main problem, if it wasn't for Boyd(R.i.p.)nobody would've given second look at that skidmark.
Its clear that this guy has the man management skills of a nat ...its strange to note nearly every one has found work with other companies but where is dwane ??
Bullying your employees to get them to perform better and faster is a BIG mistake, that method will only result in losing people to the point of getting a bad business rep.
Every workplace has "that guy". Too bad that nobody could ever see that Dwayne was the poison pill.
Really Sucks that this show was known more for DRAMA and firings than cars
Duanne is one of those shop bosses who is drama queen
She should have only received her First Warning Notice for this first time being absent W/O calling in.
Going to get tough. He was so upset he did't even stop stuffing his face.
Happy employees is a happy business. Cut the employees, cut the business. Cut the business, cut yourself. Common fucking knowledge!
Word to the wise, Your employees ARE the business...
Bet if it wasn't for that Duane guy, no way they would have gone through that many employees
Trish is still alive, Boyd is dead..so who won after all?
yeah yeah Boyd,, and now someone finally fired you... GOOD... Who's butt is Dwayne kissing now?
Well he got finnished from west coast customs not long after Boyd died.
They were professional firer's.
Best thing that ever happened to her.
With that ass she won't have a problem getting a job 😊
How’s Hell Boyd
That was a rough place. I can't blame anyone for quitting. I notice that people didn't want to give two weeks notice when they want to quit.
I think from now on I'll start writing down names of people when I talk to them on the phone.
Who didn't get fired from there???...on the bright side...more people for Foose...
even his cars will burn in hell
i never really watched this show but i clicked on one of the videos of Boyd firing a guy and then in the suggested videos there was another one, and then another one, and then someone quits and then another one is fired. What the hell kind of operation is this?? LOL its obvious they had MAJOR issues at that place when this was filmed WOW!
Man a lot of people got canned from that place
A lot of good people got fired. I hired three former employees and they stuck with me during good times and bad. I liked Boyd and knew him for many years before his great claim to fame. His attitude changed over the years and I think he made a lot of serious mistakes, and he knew it.
His atitude after firing her saying the only person suffering will be roy cos hes gota do more..ignoring the empathy that sum1 just lost their job sums up that place i would never buy anything from such a cold heartless place
Go Dwayne Go. When it gets real rough, you will get yours "in the end" :) Kissy kissy and you get to keep your job, well kinda sorta. Someone is keeping book on you guy, so keep an iron in the fire you just may be looking for a job.
I bet this "policy" went into effect as soon as Yoko Jo heard about the girl not calling in sick. I saw and heard plenty of the shop guys going MIA.
I loved Roy. Old school all the way!
This is why boyd suffered before death....
Boyd was a wanker
Orange County Choppers was the 2-wheeled version of this dumpster-fire... Junior & Duane would make a great couple... 😙😂
I would send my 'Phone Bill' in showing I had phoned them along with a letter saying 'See U at the Tribunal!!'
Well just goes to show looks can be deceiving - if she didn't call in to let them know what was happening then she deserves what she got!...shame I would have liked to have seen Duane's face when she produced her phone bill!..and I believed her..lol.
I understand that he has schedules he has to meet by a good boss would give you three strikes you don’t call in that’s a verbal warning second time you don’t call and you get written up third time you’re fired.
I miss Roy, the guy was awesome.
Duane workshop manager. Couldn't manage to run a bath.
now that Boyds dead wtf is Duane....there was definitely a trend of people quitting an Boyd n Duane were clueless as to why...Imagine that
What a privilege place it was to work at
From all the things Boyd didn’t put up with, he forgot himself.
Employer of the year Boyd, kickin some butt. How’d that work out for ya,
Chips builds are the best !!
